From the article, it sounded like you might be able to smoke in public, as long as you walked across people's private lawns instead of the sidewalk. Unfortunately the law requires that you own the private property or have implicit/explicit toking permission of the owner.

On the upside, my legal-eagle interpretation is that people can toke up in public as long as they've got copious quantities of pot on them...and everyone under 21 will be required to own large (> 1 ounce) stashes at all times:

"Section 1. Subsection 38-175:(a) It shall be unlawful for any person under the age of twenty-one (21) to possess one (1) ounce or less of marijuana.(b) It shall be unlawful for any person to openly and publicly consume one (1) ounce or less of marijuana."

Shadi:untaken_name: You can do something legal on your own property? Thanks, government. You're so nice to allow people that privilege. Are not our masters benevolent, to lighten the chains to such a degree?

yeah, but your smoke doesn't stay on your property.

Neither does car exhaust, noise, the smell of (sometimes) bad cooking, children playing and sometimes their toys, leaves, etc. Yet somehow we manage to survive and generally tolerate such things as a society. A little bit of pot smoke (or even cigarette smoke, for that matter) is not going to hurt.

I spend many thousands of dollars on pounds of pot every year. I smoke...a lot. I'd actually consider buying legally if it was as high quality and cost less than I get from my guy. I don't think that would be the case, though.

/I've been buying local for 10 years from a guy who grows his own KB...best stuff I've ever smoked

Isn't that what calling your local equivalent of Family Services is for? Unless it's common and accepted, I guess.

Wolf892:So, am I the only one that hates the smell of pot and the stupid mumblings that ramble out of the mouths of people high on pot?Also, how do we teach kids that drugs are illegal and bad for them if we keep legalizing previously illegal drugs simply based on their popularity? What's next, meth?

Hopefully, meth. Also heroin. Both should be free in great quantities to those who would use them. Then we hope for the best.

SquiggsIN:Am I alone in favoriting people with insightful/thought-provoking/intelligent comments in cannabis-related threads with the color green?

No - you are pretty much preaching to the converted - it only take an IQ slightly above average too realise the war on drugs is a really bad idea (as is the war on terror - terror exits and we should learn ways to not only deal with it, but respond positively ... rather than negatively (ie. lets remove a few rights and spy on everyone.)

We legalise them based on their damage. Meth is farked up (once or twice a year its all good, monday, tuesday, wednesday its farking well.) If you can say the same about the sacred herb then you are farked up. And I have a right to ramble, not like I am hurting anyone.

skatedrifter:I believe this opens the door for the possibility of pot cafes with outdoor patio smoking sections, which is awesome.

No it isn't. Smoking is smoking, a filthy, disgusting habit that should be furtively enjoyed by its idiot adherents in garbage-strewn alleys, not among decent folk. I don't care if it's weed or tobacco; keep that shiat to yourselves.

Replace smoking with religion, weed with religion A and tobacco with religion B, Garbage-strewn alleys with soulless institutions.
